Here is a true story.
A guy I worked with was a Christian, and in my mind he was a flaming right-wing Christian fanatical nutcase. He always ignored science in favor of Biblical teachings and he took it to a conspiratorial level. Of course global warming was bunk, evolution even more so because Jesus said so. Fossils in the ground? Placed there by the Devil. AIDS? A homosexual disease engineered by liberals to kill Christians. This is a 50 year old adult we are talking about.
I asked him why he voted for Bush. He said, with a cold, straight face, “To bring about the rapture.”
Once, after a pitch meeting in Santa Clara, I had the client ask me why the South voted against their economic interests by voting for Bush? I told them “to bring about the rapture.”
There was nothing you can do to fight that kind of stupidity.
Nothing.
That 28%-30% support for Bush? Those are the true nutcase believers.
One of Bush’s constituencies is people SEEKING destruction.
They may be the only group that is not deceived.
The other day a religious version of Hubris knocked on my door. The particular denomination isn’t important but the question he asked is. He knocked. I cursed under my breath, disengaged from kissing (among other fun things on the couch) my wife, and answered the door. He asked, “Are you going to heaven when you die?” I responded, “Are you going to be there?” He gleefully replied, “Of course.” I muttered “Thank God” under my breath. It was the reply I wanted. So I said, “Then I sure fucking hope not.” I invited him in for coffee. He said “No thanks.” I said, “Buh Bye now. Come back next weekend. We’ll barbecue in preparation for my eternity without you.”
2 of those nice ladies came to my door yesterday to remind me jesus died for my sins….i told one she sure was hot and asked her if she liked pussy.
they left in a huff.
the week before 2 men came to my door and asked me if i had jesus in my heart….i asked them if they could come in and change my bloody tampon cause i hurt my back and i couldnt reach the string.
they too left in a huff.
next time im gonna whip out my baby jesus butt plug and ask them if they have any lube.
My wife told me of a web site she saw which revealed something that all the religious righties will be saddened to learn. George W. Bush is actually the Anti-Christ.
